This past school year, at East Stroudsburg High School South, we had great success in our science competitions. We were especially excited that our Envirothon team, the Awesome Possums, won the Monroe County competition and were off to the State Envirothon experience at Juniata College. The team members created a great presentation that required deep knowledge of land use and management as it relates to grazing and crop land activities. The team studied, researched and conferenced with professionals to put on the best consultation they could possibly present to the judges. They also had to complete tests at the state level created by the Pennsylvania Game Commission, state Fish and Board Commission, Soil Conservation Service and Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

None of this could have been accomplished without the help of several people and organizations. We would like to thank the Kettle Creek Environmental Fund, Jenifer Rituper of the Monroe County Environmental Education Center, and Donna Foulk of the Penn State Extension Service for providing financial assistance, time and expertise to our team members.

Our students and school community benefitted from this experience, and look forward to the competition next school year.
